 Sometimes airplanes break in inconvenient locations and have to be moved. Moving real ones to practice is unwise.

Your average Osprey Crewman.  E: Meh, he won't reveal the aircraft he claims to have crashed in, but various redditor scum have pointed out that previous comments made by Mr. unfortunate claim that he has been a "maintenance technician" for three years and "I've flown on the CV-22 osprey". Fabrication or not, that's what he's sayin' Dilettante. fucked around with this message at 04:57 on May 5, 2013 |

Our regs required us to fly with dogtags on our person even on training sorties...after a while you figure out that doesn't necessarily mean around your neck, but a lot of people did it on evals (easy to show you've got your req'd gear) or laziness.

In the laces of my boots because I'm forgetful and lazy (but if the AF asks it's because FEET ARE THE LAST THINGS TO BURN [when really in my aircraft they burn first]).

I wore them around me neck, unfortunately one of my roommates in the barracks switched mine for a joke set he had made that just had Booblord Loves to eat dick 420698008 Allergic to Pussy and I ended up wearing them for about 4 months before the squadron XO checked us for them, got to mine, and almost died from laughing so hard. For the rest of my time in that squadron I had to wear those.

Literally everyone I know, if they ever bring them anywhere, loops them around a belt loop and puts them in a pocket, or just leaves them in a bag. I almost never wear them though.

Before heading back to Benning in Ranger School, the battalion XO in Florida gave us a rousing speech about wearing ID tags properly. His reasoning to wear them around your neck was that if you got injured pretty badly in combat, your clothes would get cut off to treat your wounds and your tags would be thrown away. Apparently this could make it difficult to identify you, especially if you got seriously hosed up. Kind of makes sense. He was also prior CAG, so I listened to him.

Older Tacomas had a very serious frame rot issue when they were just a couple of years old. I assume that's been remedied.

Good reason, those over me have said that you keep them around your neck because when an airframe burns down the vertibrae are the last things to be destoryed. Granted I just keep them around my neck and not in the pocket since I'm an NCO in the 82nd... aka SGT Standards. drat I miss Spec4 life.

That burger king-looking crown just seals the loving deal. Edit: I think I have the same model laptop. Bought it in 2004 with my precommissioning loan from USAA.Edit2: V It's a 15.4" screen but the thing is a beast. It was actually pretty decent at gaming at the time.

My friend Logan, whom I served with in the same platoon and team in Afghanistan, made a 50 minute documentary for a school project about some of of the dudes in our platoon. In it they share their experiences leading up to, during ,and after the deployment, as well as dealing with the loss of one of our platoon mates. Whom I posted about here experiences on our deployment. It's pretty cool seeing my friends do something like this, and an experience I will always be proud to have been a part of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkpNZWf8lw0 It's pretty surreal seeing and hearing my buddy Matt again. elite_garbage_man fucked around with this message at 23:01 on May 6, 2013 |
